Bebi Dol (Serbian Cyrillic: Беби Дол, bêbi dôːl, born Dragana Šarić, Serbian Cyrillic: Драгана Шарић, drǎɡana ʃǎːritɕ or [ʃâritɕ]) is a Serbian female pop/rock singer and performer. Her name is a transcription of the English Baby Doll in Serbian , which she also uses in some countries to credit her records.
Šarić had contact with music since her early years, as her father, Milenko Šarić, was a jazz musician. She started her career in the late 1970s in the band Tarkus. During the late 1979, she made her first studio recordings as a guest vocalist on the Igra Staklenih Perli album Vrt svetlosti (Garden of Light), released in 1980. In 1981, with the guitarist Goran Vejvoda and the bass guitarist Ivan Vdović, she formed the short-lasting band Annoda Rouge.
In 1981, Šarić, under the name Bebi Dol, released her solo debut, Oriental music-inspired single "Mustafa", which she composed together with Saša Habić. The song featured the recording of Slobodan Konjović's voice. Konjović was, at the time, Studio B musical editor, and participated in "Mustafa" production.
In 1983, she released her first solo album, Ruže i krv (Roses and Blood). She wrote all the songs on the album, except "Sinu Sunca i bratu Meseca" ("To the Son of the Sun and brother of the Moon"), a cover of 17th century traditional song, featuring recordings of Lauren Bacall's and Humphrey Bogart's dialogues, and "Lapis Lazzuli", a cover of Angelo Branduardi song.
